Filipino-American comedian Rob Schneider is set to embark on a new movie project centered around the Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth believed to bear the image of Jesus Christ. In a recent interview, Schneider discussed his conversion to the Catholic faith and how it has influenced his career.
Describing the Shroud of Turin as the “receipt of the price Jesus paid,” Schneider expressed his deep connection to the relic and its significance in his spiritual journey. He revealed that the script for the movie has been in the works for the past five years, focusing on the scientific evidence behind the ancient linen.
While initially approaching the project as a piece of entertainment, Schneider’s exploration of the Shroud of Turin led him to a greater understanding of his faith. He credited his return to Jesus Christ to a combination of factors, including the impact of the pandemic and the importance of family.
Looking ahead, Schneider is hopeful to begin production on the movie project this year, with plans to start shooting in 2024. As a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, Schneider’s venture into a film about the Shroud of Turin highlights his personal growth and spiritual journey.
